My misunderstanding, I now see that the conf file is created by tray-monitor if it is not present. -- Regards, Erik P.

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Bacula Status Report -- 9 June 2018
Hello Kern Can you take a look in the debian repo. It looks that the debian directory are "duplicated" (too many folders comparing with centos repository) Debian: http://bacula.org/packages/X/debs/9.0.8/stretch/amd64/dists/stretch/main/binary-amd64/ CentOS http://bacula.org/packages/ X/ rpms/9.0.8/el7/x86_64/ Best Regards *Wanderlei Hüttel* http://www.huttel.com.br Em sáb, 9 de jun de 2018 às 10:33, Kern Sibbald escreveu: > Hello, > > It has been a while since the last status report, so it is now time. > > I would like to discuss the following subjects: > > 1.

Ah, found it. So you're referring to the "chapter ??" just before the heading "New Tray Monitor". That should be chapter 16 "Customizing the Configuration Files". >>> Also a $HOME/.bacula-tray-monitor.conf should be found.

No, that's not what I was trying to say. The ~/.bacula-tray-monitor.conf needs to be created by each user him/herself, no matter whether you build the tray monitor program yourself or you install it from a package. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

So, what's mentioned in the manual is only true when you build tray monitor yourself. Thanks for informing me, maybe I should do it myself. -- Regards, Erik P.

It is certainly not a packaging error. $HOME is your personal home directory. Files in there cannot be provided by an installation package, as the packager cannot know in advance what your home directory will be. At best the package could drop some file in /etc/skel from where it will be copied when a user is created, but that would do nothing for users that already existed before the package was installed. Judging from the name this file hosts the current user's individual tray monitor configuration. I would assume it is optional and tray monitor will either work fine without it, or maybe create it automatically if it doesn't exist. I regret I can't verify this myself as the openSUSE packages I'm currently using do not include the tray monitor.

[Bacula-users] tray monitor conf.
In the manual on page 16 (pdf version) a configuration overview is shown. Right below the figure there is an unresolved reference to a more detailed description. Where is this description to be found? Also a $HOME/.bacula-tray-monitor.conf should be found. I don't have this file and I realise that it may be due to a packaging error by fedora, but is it possible to find this file elsewhere, perhaps on the internet? -- Regards, Erik P.
